How To Save Your Marriage | Christian Tips To Say No To Divorce

Divorce Is Not an OPTION At All

Marriage (or wedlock) –it is a social union or legal contract between people that creates kinship. The definition of marriage varies according to different cultures, but is usually an institution in which interpersonal relationships, usually intimate and sexual, are acknowledged. Such a union, often formalized via a wedding ceremony, may also be called matrimony.

The Bible says that Marriage was the first institution established by God in the book of Genesis, chapter 2. It is a covenant agreement, meant for life; therefore it must not be broken under any circumstance

Just as the Bible teaches us to enter into marriage carefully and reverently, divorce is to be avoided at all costs. Honoring and upholding the marriage vows brings honor and glory to God.

Divorce is not an option at all. It is a lame excuse from couples to get out from a marriage they never thought about and never wanted in the first place. It devaluates the true meaning of your covenant and with your vows upon wedding.

In show business, we can attest that divorce is radically practice. In fact, we can say that this is one of the many basis or standards that normal couples are clinging to. They follow what they saw or heard on television, radio and on what they’re getting on surfing the internet; divorce is much more a trend these days rather than an issue of moral values.

Matthew 19:6 says; “So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate.” is quite no longer true in this generation because even a paper-divorce paper can separate what God has joined together as one. People’s perspective of marriage is but a paper where you just need to sign and that you can just throw it anytime! Alas! They are just following the world…

Many marriages are needlessly failing because of lack of dynamics. Most couples, sadly to say, are ignorant on purpose because they are not willing to apply the time and spend the money to grow their relationships. When the relationship fails, they blame God. God does not save relationships, He saves individuals. It is on the couple’s part to nurture, to nourish and to water their relationship with love and respect; knowing each roles as husband and wife.

Love is the greatest of all. It gives new perspective in one’s relationship. He or she understands each other all the more if love exists.3. Kill self—selfishness.

Don’t stop learning something about your spouse. Don’t stop that little surprise that makes your heart skip a beat. As you grow old together, you will discover something new every morning.5. His needs, her needs.
Understand your differences. Men and women differ in so many areas. One may go well with him but it may not to the other, so, just respect each other’s preferences.6. Know each role as husband and wife according to the Bible.

“Here’s the thing we need to recognize about conflict … 69 percent of all conflicts in a couple’s relationship is not solvable,” Mintle told CBN News. “So what is important is not that you resolve conflicts, but the way you talk about conflict.”

Yes, I strongly believe that divorce should not be an option of two conflicting couple since it doesn’t bring any good to the family: it just brings catastrophe. Instead, in every conflict, couples should take time in discussing the matter; be honest to their feelings.
